Computer locked up and was unresponsive. About ready to push the big button when I thought I'd give REISUB a try. Thanks to fsmithred, it was enabled on refracta. Thank you! Guess you think of everything . . .
Then I tackled the font size in xterm - no way I could read that miniscule font. Ever thought about including some tweaks in an .Xresources file? Would be a nice addition and only about 1kb.
